Excellent course

One of the best public tracks in the San Antonio area. Wide fairways, large greens, and scenic views. Pricey but worth it.

Course great, Staff not so much

Let me say I’ve played here a dozen times and I love the course. The problem is always the same, the staff needs to go to other courses of the same level and get a clue on what an enjoyable golf round should be. The pace of play is slow for an easy layout and always takes over 4 hours but when we have no one slowing us down we finish in 3 hrs 15 min. On this day we did not have ice in our cooler & were told to ask the cart girl; it was over 100 degree out. When we did see her she seemed annoyed and gave us a few cups. Not enough to fill our cooler. This course used to be a gem, now it’s just decent but overpriced for the experience.

Beautiful Course! Tough back 9

Pace of play made the course playable and enjoyable. I think I got lucky with the time slot and the fact it was a special rate. No breakfast tacos made it kind of suck but overall great experiencez

Good course

This is a good course but for the money I think it would have been a little nicer. Some of the better resort style courses I have played in the past have a few little things that sets them apart from your regular courses like cold towels for you as you play. It really is the little things that set apart the better courses. Again this is a nice course and I do recommend it at least once!

Thank you for playing and thank you for your feedback. We will share your comments with the team, as we do offer an iced mango scented towel after the round in the summer months. We hope you come back again soon.

Punched Greens

The greens had just been punched and we had no notice of it on the app. Other than that it was good as usual

Great Course

La Cantera Resort has always been one of my favorite courses in San Antonio, always in great shape tee to green, the attention you get form the bag drop, the starter, the mid course snack bar, the club cleaning at the end of your round, everything is top notch, worth every penny.

Slow Slow Slow Greens and Pace

The greens are in really bad shape. Really slow. You have to really wack it to both up hill and down! Pace was also somewhat of a problem.

Kind of like a nice muni with average greens. I would be ok if it was around $50 USD. But not $160 for sure.

If the greens were fixed up I would say $100 is a fair price.

Great track!

So first the really good. The course is a former host course for the Valero Texas open. A few holes in and it’s easy to see why. I can’t say enough good things about the layout. If you enjoy bombing drives from elevated tee’s ? You’re gonna love this place . There’s several holes to just grip it and rip it and others that you’ve got to be accurate or leave the driver in the bag. We played the day after an insane thunderstorm front rolled through and dropped about 5 inches of rain in some areas. How it was open at all was impressive! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming! Had a burger and a beer before teeing off that was delicious also!

Now the not so great.

Pace of play was kind of slow. Now granted that’s partially not their fault because as I mentioned, due to the massive storm the night before. It was cart paths only. Which added at least 45 mins to the pace for our foursome. There were four guys in front of us playing a match like it was the masters or something but they let us through on the tenth tee and we never looked back.

The greens ? Very slow but again. I’m certain they had no way to cut them today given the rain from last night, and asi said, it’s huge credit to their staff that the place was open at all with lush green fairways and full, enormous greens.

All in all ? It’s a fantastic track with challenging holes, and a lot of really fun elevated tee shot holes. Big premium on hitting the fairways and I would absolutely go back, in a heartbeat !

better grass at practice area

upon arrival the entire practice green area had a significant lack of turf to hit off of. having an attendant move the practice area back to new grass was needed. if your going to have guests practice off of the grass please make sure there is grass to hit off of.

Great course

The layout of the course is just beautiful. The greens were WAY TOO slow. It was a real struggle getting the ball to the hole and reading the greens. I wild love to still play the course again and hopefully the make the greens a little more fair with cutting three grass lower. The rest of the course and the staff were absolutely fantastic!

Best Course We Played in San Antonio

We played four courses in San Antonio on a golf trip and this was the best of the bunch. The price was also the steepest by a long shot. The course is truly a great layout and was in the best shape of the courses we played on the trip.

The day we played was really, really windy, so the course played very tough. Even in the difficult conditions, we felt like there was room off the tee and the areas around the green. The greens had been sanded sometime in the past few weeks, so they were slow.

I hate when people spend most of their review saying how good or bad the staff was because the golf course is far more important. In this case though, I think the staff deserves a shoutout. They were super friendly from start to finish and they added to the experience.

TPC was closed down for the Texas Open while we were here, so I can't compare to those tracks, but La Cantera is very nice and you will enjoy yourself.
